■
On a client running Linux, start a program such as Minicom, a text-based serial
communication program that is included in the Linux distributions. For more
information, see the man pages included in the Linux distribution.
4. Log in to the service processor as an Administrator, for example:
login:
root
password:
changeme
5. Start the ILOM SP CLI by entering the following:
start /SP/console
6. Power on main power to the server by using a non-metallic stylus to press the
recessed Power button on the front panel.
POST messages appear on your screen as the OS boots.
7. Follow the Solaris 10 preinstallation on-screen prompts.
Use the information gathered in
“Installation Worksheet” on page 26
to help you
enter the system and network information as you are prompted.
The screens that are displayed will vary, depending on the method that you chose
for assigning network information to the server (DHCP or static IP address).
After you have entered the system-configuration information, the server completes
the boot process and displays the Solaris login prompt. Refer to the
Sun Fire X2250
Operating Systems Installation Guide
(820-4592) for information about configuring the
Solaris OS.
